A client diagnosed with mitral insufficiency has a murmur with a musical quality over the apex of the heart. The nurse recognizes that this is caused by:
 
  1. Regurgitation of blood from the left ventricle into the left atrium.
  2. Regurgitation of blood from the right ventricle into the right atrium.
  3. Enlargement of the right ventricle due to increased pressure in the right atrium.
  4. Regurgitation of blood from the aorta into the left ventricle.

  1. Administer cardiotonic and diuretic medications.
  2. Schedule regular exercise periods and administer narcotics as ordered.
  3. Promote bedrest and administer scheduled antibiotics.
  4. Administer oxygen and tranquilizers as ordered.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).

This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
